Raila Odinga's son, Raila Odinga Junior, has slammed the government over the alleged deployment of gangs in Nairobi's Central Business District during protests.
In a short statement shared by the veteran politician's son, Junior warned that countries like Haiti, where Kenya currently has its officers deployed, began with similar 'militia' elements.
He indicated that a failure to rein in the goons who wreaked havoc on the streets of Nairobi risked plunging the country into gang chaos. "In Haiti, the gangs started as government militias, then slowly but surely developed into the dominant force that we see today.
We must stop this descent into madness.
